What to do:Get outside and take some nature photos! Animal, vegetable or mineral- doesn't matter as long as it's out-of-doors. Great photos are out there waiting for you, whether you find yourself in the autumn woods, the high mountains, or just a little green corner of the concrete jungle.

Prizes:We're positively giddy to offer prizes from the smart folks at Trek-Tech.

The grand prize winner will receive the drool-worthy TechPod Go!, a tripod, monopod and walking stick combination that breaks down to a mere 22 inches.

Second and third place will win a T'Pod, a mini-tripod sized just right to fit in your camera bag.

How to enter:Just post your very best nature photo on this thread.

Deadline:The contest begins October 15 and ends at midnight on October 31st. We'll announce the winners right here on November 6th.

Have fun everybody! Oh yeah, and we promised your mom we'd remind you that it's brisk outside, so be sure to dress in layers.
